Netspar conducts a coherent and innovative scientific research program on macro aspects of aging and retirement, individual behavior and institutional behavior of pension funds and financial institutions. Furthermore, Netspar allocates annually 1 million Euro each to three theme projects, for a three-year period. These themes will appoint PhD students and junior faculty, will organize pension days, interact with the pension sector, and contribute to the education program.
Netspar provides critical mass to this program by bringing together academic researchers from different fields, disciplines, backgrounds and institutions.
European Research Agenda
The European Science Foundation selected Ageing, Health and Pensions in Europe in 2007 as one of two new topics in the Forward Looks research program. Netspar will be actively involved- together with other European research institutes- in defining the European research agenda on pensions, ageing and health for the next five- to ten years. This agenda will enable funding agencies to plan their resources to meet future needs. The research topics that will be studied in the Forward Looks program fall under three broad themes:
- Labour market issues
- Income security of an aging population
- Well-being of the elderly
